I recently purchased a new Sidekick power steering pump for my Samurai the pump did not come with the pressure release valve which sits on top of the pump, and my old valve leaks, can i just cap this hole or do i need the valve? Where can i find a valve the LPS cannot get one.

you try the dealer. if you take a pic of what you need i can pull it off my treacker pump that is siezed for you. ill be replacing it in a week or 2 but if it is ez to pull of b4 that ill do it for ya.

I have a cooler i think im going to weld the hole closed there is only one dealer i can find around here that might be able to get the part and there 3 hours away, should i remove the spring and all the other stuff under the relif valve when i weld it?

I've been looking for that pressure relief valve for over a month checked every junk yard on Dort Highway with no luck. I even called the Suzuki dealer in Traverse city and they couldn't even get the part, and PSC wasn't sure about the valve either. So i welded it and it's been working good but only time will tell.
